Re: Yet another Hotpoint Mistral (8596) problem

Ah, I posted too soon, please ignore.

I went back to the freezer and it’s finally switched off. Cleaning out the fluff must have made it happier. The freezer certainly seems to cool to less than the temperature readout says though.

Re: Help with JLWD1408 E80 and going straight to drain cycle

I haven’t given up yet. I replaced both heater elements New toy, megger, read @ 4.5Mohms on each one. New elements read 0.

It appeared to work. Ran a 30 min. wash without error. But on every wash since, it’s stopped with an error 52. (Motor tacho reading). I happened to notice one time that the motor was surging/running very fast, so there’s definitely some fault in the tacho/feedback circuit, but only intermittent.

Any ideas?

I spoke too soon. I’m getting error 36, then error 52 after disconnecting the dryer heater.

I don’t have a megger so have ordered both replacement heater elements.

Update: Success!

Had I known which pump was the recirculation one I may have found it earlier. (I mixed up the re-circ and the drain pump).

One of the wires to the re-circ pump was broken 😀

All seems to be working now, just need to re-assemble it to try it properly.

Update.

I’ve run the diagnostics, the fill valve opens briefly, then E84 shows, then the drain pump operates.
